Anti-vaxxer cranks target V-Day heroine Margaret: 91-year-old is labelled an actress and a Mason by dangerous cadre of conspiracy theorists
A mob of online conspiracy theorists - some claiming to be NHS staff - used Facebook to spread slurs about the 91-year-old British grandmother Margaret Keenan (top) and her family. Calling her a 'guinea pig' and an 'actress', the anti-vaxxers accused her of making a Masonic sign (bottom left) and of having been given a placebo as a marketing ploy. More than 137,000 Britons were vaccinated against coronavirus in the first week of the jab being available. But on the first day, former care worker Louise Hampton (bottom right) posted a link to a report about Mrs Keenan to her 18,000 Facebook followers with the comment: 'Shame on Margaret's Family for allowing this!!!! Using Granny as a guinea pig! Maggie's jab is merely a MARKETING PLOY!!'
